Maritime Lawyers Protecting the Rights of Alaska’s Offshore Workers

Alaska, the largest state in the US, boasts more miles of coastline than any other state in the nation. With the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south and east, Alaska’s economy is largely supported by its maritime industry. As home to a number of ports, including the Ports of Anchorage, Juneau, Homer, and Bristol Bay, Alaska is considered a major gateway for waterborne trade in the Far East and Canada.

While there are a variety of maritime careers in Alaska, commercial fishing dominates Alaska’s maritime industry. The Ports of Anchorage and Dutch Harbor handle more commercial fishing fleets than any other port in the US. Although considered one of the most hazardous professions in America, more than 56,000 Alaskans dedicate their lives to being commercial fishermen.

Alaska’s fishermen spend long hours working under hazardous conditions and frigid temperatures catching cod, salmon, crab, herring and other species. For those operating a commercial fishing fleet, there is a legal obligation to minimize the inherent danger associated with being a commercial fisherman by providing a safe working environment. To do this, employers must ensure that captains and crew members are highly qualified and familiar with safety procedures. Unfortunately, the most common causes of injury on board vessels include inadequate training and failure to properly follow safety procedures.
